residence as Pocatello, Idaho. Her story
Is that she went to Marion county, Iowa,
to visit relatives, leaving her husband at

ing been arrested on the charge of the
larceny of some clothes. She came to
Omaha yesterday and learned from the
authorities at the Union Pacific head

Alleged Mismn n agement.

$50 much has been said and written
concerning the financial troubles of the
National Opera company, and the prob.
ability and possibility OF the venture
proving financial success, that desire
to add my opinion, formed from knowl
edge of the affairs Of the company" said
gentleman prominently connected with
the management of the company to a
bee reporter last night THE enterprise
is the greatest one of its kind ever at
tempted and yet in the right hands could
be made financial success. Under the
present management it cannot be made
to pay. say this with all respect to Mr..
Locke. He is q manager of ability, but
there is something fagrantly wrong in
the present order of things. Treasurer
Jaffray has been quoted IN the BEE as
placing the expenses of the company at
about 81, 900 day. You will be surprised
to learn where this expense comes in. In
the first place MIR. Lock gets $500 week
for his services and has full managerial
power. He has three treasurers at an ex.
pense of between $500 and 5000 a week.
He has four door keepers and never uses
but one OF them. Neither of them re-
ceives less than $50 week. he had four
electricians at salaries that are COM
manded by the best experts in this line.
He cannot, and does not furnish work
enough OF this kind to keep one man
busy. He has five stage carpenters at big
salaries and yet when the company ar
rived here the services of local stage
carpenter were employed to arrange
the stage and scenery in the exposition
building. Then he has three or four sur
plus agents who seem to have nothing to
do except to travel with the company
and draw their salaries with becoming
regularity. In all, Mr., Locke pays out OF
the pockets of the stockholders in this
great enterprise at least 81 800 per week
for services that could be very well dis
pensed with. OF his object or gain in SO
doing know nothing and care less, ex-
cept that rs a musician and lover of such
enterprises hate to see such magniti-
cent enterprise injured by apparent
needless extravaganza. The company
also pays Theodore Thomas $4,000
week for the use of his or
chestra. Thomas gets $1,000 a week
additional for his name and services
while he stays in New York and entrusts
| the direction of the orchestra to an as
| sistant who pulls an additional $500
| week for his services. OF course Thomas
and his renowned orchestra are neces-
| sary to the success of thu enterprise, but
\ the owners Of the company are foolish to
| allow Locke to pay such enormous sal
| aries to persons from whom he receives
| no direct service. Outside of these ex-
travagances the expenses of the company

The Gypsy Band.

10 tho Editor of the BEE: The
resident who lives near Hanscom
park and who so loudly complains about
the "thieving gypsies' Is evidently off
his base and should look for the thieves
elsewhere. Old Mr.. Reynolds, the
'gypsy king" who is at the head of the
band, together with all the members of
the. band, enjoy q. high reputation all
through the state of Iowa for honesty
with him and his family for six years.
MIR. Luther Owen, druggist at sos North
Sixteenth street, has known the band for
thirteen years and there are many other
persons in the city well acquainted with
them and we dislike to hear any such
evil attributed to them as we consider
thom very worthy people.

wingary Castle.

This ancient fortalice is on the south
coast Of Ardnamurchan. 1t overhangs
Loeb Sunart, looking across at south
ward along the Sound OF Null, and 1t
confronts south-westward the body of
Null island, and its distance due north
from Tobermory is seven miles. The
fortalice, although ruin, is in
state Of proximate entirety, and
must be regarded as one of the
most interesting architectural an
tiquities OF the class. II skirts the
edges OF a precipitous rock about
twenty-four feet high, and is defended
on The land side by dry ditch. The
entire structure is a hexagon OF three
larger and three smaller sides, which
regularly alternate. Two of the sides
towards the land are occupied by the
castle, which has three stories divided
into six apartments and approached by a
central staircase, and the other sides are
formed 10y a dead wall and interiorly
disposed partly into out-houses and
partly into triangular court. Battle
menls surround all the sides, but are so
narrow that they could have afforded
small scope for the working OF artiile-
~. A few loopholes constituted the
only external openings. The whole
heragon is upwards of 200 feet in cir
conference, and the enclosed castle is
fifty feet in length. The fortalice was
ancienily the seat Of the Macians.

Fashionable Dogs.

Dogs-small dogs, and especially
terriers and spaniels-will hold hence
forth an important place in the existence
of their mistresses, and these four
footed gentlemen already have their
fashions LIKE was going to say
those who walk on two feet. Well, in
Paris their fashion this season is a
travelling cloak of thick cloth either
checked or striped, with q belt Of
leather and a hood lined with very
bright silk, either red or blue. This
is either allowed to fall over the
shoulders or it is raised to cover the
ears of the doggie, should the lat
ter he delicate, and it can be
fastened back to the body-belt b. means
of a ring. The waterproof cloaks are
of the same shape, but are minus the
strap, while the hood is pointed, aud
when thrown back can be fastened TO
the dogs collar. They are made in
water proofDg in q shade OF silvery-
gray, or of impermeable silk OF the old
fashioned shade Of pink, or OF tiny
checks or light zephyr stripes. These
are the outcome OF the season. The
collar which Nine. Lcdouble has de-
signed to complete these cloaks is a
twist Of leather in several different
tones corresponding with those OF the
cloak, and closes either with paddock
or a bunch of balls.

How Drummer Porter Secured q
Position and Proved
His Worth.
Especial dispatch to London Times.l
New York Tribune.l


Going over to StOnington the other
evening, I met Frank Holbrook on the
boat. Holbrook, although still yonnQ
man, is an old merchant. He was at
the head of the Chicago branch of the
house OF A. Il. Stewart & Co. for a
time, and got to talking to him about
that enterprising class-the drummers.
he told me this story about one OF
them:
used to fatter myself, Holbrook
began. that i could size up the appli-
cants for clerkships for what they were
wo tb, SO az not TO offer a 90, 900 man a
81, COO salary, OF 81, 900 man 81, 900
salary. But l remember getting
badly deceived once. A young fell
low came into the Chicago store
and asked for a position. He was
n red-cheeked little fellow, sported
nice moustache, with waxed ends,
and wore well-ftting clothes. looked
him over and said to myself, I" Here's a
young chap who can probably earn
enough TO pay his landlady and have a
Wv tollaIe Ncch over loI cigars ohA
cologne" We We're short OF help just
thee, and / made mp my mind that |
would offer him $3.50 a year-that being
my idea OF his full value. After little
preliminary talk / said to him:

ssxpect--what do you think you would
DO worth to us?

Piled; ~ think I'd be worth that to
yon; l can sell goods, Mr.. Holbrook."
There was something in his manner
that hked--an earpestness and direct
ness-but laughed TO myself at the
idea OF paying that youth 81, 800. SUI.

footman, who had till then been scorned
by baronage and knighthood--a dis
covery copied by the burghers OF Flsn-
ders and repeated in the victories Of the
Swiss--gave deathblow TO the custom
of feudalism and changed in the end the
face of Europe" Green adds, with refer
ence to Edwards hard-won victory in
1898: "Ruined as the cause of free
dom then seemed, Wallace's work was
achieved. He had reused Scotland into
life, and even defeat like Falkirk left
her unconquered. Edward merely re-
NAMED master OF the ground be stood
on and as soon as the want Of supplies
forced him to retreat, a native regency
under Bruce and Comyn continued the
struggle for independence"
But it is TO kindred souls who have
themselves struggled for their country's
liberty that we must look for the keen
est perception of the greatness and no.
bilty of Wallace's work. William
Wallace" said Garibaldi, "sheds as
bright a glory upon his valorous nation
as ever was she'd upon their country by
tho greatest men Of Greece or Rome. +"
Gsribaldi regarded Wallace as standing
higher even than Bruce, whose decisive
victory at BannOckburn finally secured
the independence of Scotland. For
Bruce, he said, fought for a crown ;
Wallace was a man of the people, fight
ing alone for his country's life and
liberty.
Take now the words of Mazzini ::
"Noble, disinterested, valiant, crowned
with the double halo of victory and
martyrdom, Wallace shines forth from
the dim twilight Of the past, the main
teacher Of the unity betwixt thought
and action to Scotland, one amongst
the high prophets Of nationality to us
all. Honor him, worship his memory,
teach his name and deeds TO your chill
dren. Reverence for the mighty souls
Of the past is the safest pledge for fu-
ture greatness" Such, then, was the
man who died that cruel death at Smith
field on August %, 1906, setting to his
noble work the seal Of martyrd0m.
That death in loneliness and agony,
far away from the land he loved so
well, gave to his whole life and heroic
struggles a ten-fold power. II did
more than all his achievements to write
his memory unperishably on the heart
of Scotland, and make his name an in
SEPARATION and power in all her after
history. Death was swallowed up in
victory.
The blow that struck down The Scot
tish champion made Scotland a nation
giving a national life that no enemy
was ever able to extinguish-a life as
distinct and vigorous to-day as it was
five hundred years ago-a life that has
1--WE msy well hope) future before it
greater even than its past-not rs part
of "England" but as one Of the ma
tionaltics, of winch the English nation
is another, united mean time under the
British Crown, perhaps in some future
time to form part of yet wider and
ever widening fraternity of nations.
